I'm sure these artists enjoy keeping me in suspense with these last minute entries. Well, they certainly were worth the wait. Top left is an image of Daeron and Shari-Rose from Nita Thomas. I really like the shape of the horses and also the clouds are so well done. The orange planet looks great too.

The top left painting is one by Brighid Walton of Raja and Nanine entering the lost library. It has stuck true to the description with the marble columns and spiral stairs. I can almost smell the musty, aged books there.The entry on the bottom left is another fun one of the elves, by Hecate Jerrett this time. I like the lively sense of motion from the horses and the colours and placing of the elves. Is that a partial eclipse? What a great idea.​Congratulations to all the artists on their fine work. Best of luck in the competition.

Note: one of the art teacher is now unable to be a judge, but an art teacher from the local high school has jumped to the rescue. Thank you.There are only 3 days to vote in the audience choice award, so duck on over to Facebook and click 'like' on your favourite entry to vote

With just 9 hours to go in the art competition, I'm expecting a few last-minute entries. This spiky dragon was painted by Nita and is her second entry in the competition. The silhouette style is really quite eye-catching, and I like the crenelated castle as well. Good job Nita, and best of luck in the competition.

This competition is so much fun. I can see the judges are going to have a hard time deciding which are the winners.​Here are the next 3 entries by Luke, Elly and Nita.​Luke's entry (top left) is of a gorgeous fairy who reminds me of Tinkerbell, one of my favourites. I love the bold use of colour here and the detail in the wings.

Entry 26: 'Violetta' by Nita Thomas, adult

The picture on the top left is a character imagined by Elly, who is also from grade 5. I wonder if the blue underneath Isabelle means she is levitating. I really like her eyes and two-toned hair. Good job.​The picture on the bottom here is an adult entry by Nita, which is one of the descriptions from the story. I really like the mushroom house, so cute. I like how the cot is there and Violetta has gone off wandering as she explores her magic. Nice and colourful.​Thanks to all the artists, and good luck in the competition.

As with previous years, entries come in like a flood in the last week of the competition. The entries here are by Jacinta from grade 3; Bailey from grade 5; and Chloe from grade 5. I appreciate that so many students have taken the time to enter, it's humbling. ​On the top left, we have Jacinta's interpretation of Baby Violetta asleep in her cradle. No doubt she's exhausted from her adventures. Great use of colour and glitter there, thanks.

Entry 23: The Baby Mage, by Chloe, grade 5

On the top right is an elf picture by Bailey from grade 5. This one is an elf from the story about Raja and Nanine exploring a long-forgotten elven library. That's the story I am writing at the moment, so it is doubly exciting to see. Thanks Bailey.​The last picture is a cute one of Baby Violetta magically flying her cot out the window as she discovers her powers. I like how Chloe has used a trail of magical sparkles.​Thank you to all the artists, and good luck in the competition.

The competition closes on Sunday. Draw a picture of one of the Hunters of Reloria characters as depicted to enter.

Check out these cute artworks.The first one is the baby mage: Violetta, flying through the sky about Nnanell in her cot. This is the first scrapbook entry I have received and I'm very impressed.​The 2nd entry is another sweet fairy by Zara-Lee who entered another fairy already. Lovely and cheerful.​

Entry 20: Fairy Time by Neve R., grade 2

The 3rd entry is by Neve who is in grade 2. What a stylish little fairy. Very well done. I particularly like the sparkles around her wand.

​Congratulations to all the artists on their top-notch entries. Best of luck in the art competition.

​Entry to the art competition closes on Sunday. Draw, paint, or even scrapbook one of the Hunters of Reloria characters to enter.

I get so excited every time new entries come in for the Hunters of Reloria art competition. Today I am featuring 3 more entries from our grade 5 friends at a local school. I really enjoy going to schools and giving author talks. The students didn't give me any information for the first 2 pictures, which I have entitled 'fairy.' Possibly the first one is an elegant elf, but I can't say for sure. I like the use of colour from the artists and the wing shapes. The stars around the second fairy remind me of magic.

Entry 16: 'Baby Mage' by Ayden, grade 5

This third entry is a perfect match for the description of a baby mage in a flying cot, flying past pink clouds, strange shaped houses and an ice cream tree. Well done, Ayden.​Thanks to all the artists for sending in their drawings and paintings of the Hunters of Reloria characters. Each picture is a treasured part of the Hunters lore.​cheers, Kasper

Entries are flying in thick and fast in the last week of the Hunters of Reloria fantasy art competition. Thanks to everyone who has sent them in today. There's a big stack and I'll post a few each day. Here are the first colourful entries by PJ, Clinton and Katie from Grade 5. Great work guys. I like your imagination and use of colour.

Entry 13. 'Fairy' by Katie G, grade 5

The top left picture by PJ contains loads of great fantasy elements and characters, such as the portal: the dragon; knight and wizard. Great use of colour and original ideas there.The top right picture by Clinton has a knight in shining armour and a fearsome, flame-spewing dragon who reminds me of a great Pokémon. Well done.​The last one here is a bright fairy with her own tree house by Katie. I really like the use of colour in the fairy and in the swirling clouds.​Thanks to you all for entering, and good luck in the competition.

I really appreciate how the artists are studying the descriptions I wrote and are bringing them to life in the art competition.Brighid Walton has sent in this lovely picture of Varnon in his trials to become a knight. The detail is great with his lady watching in her pavilion and the Zumar planet in the sky. His outfit looks perfect with the bear tabard and padded clothes for protection.Well done Brighid, and best of luck in the competition.

Note: The Hunters of Reloria art competition concludes this weekend. Draw one of the Hunters characters as described in the entry conditions.

Brighid Walton did well in last year's art competition and I'm delighted she has entered again this year. Bubbly Violetta is a popular character from the Hunters of Reloria series and this picture depicts the day she discovers her magic.​She has done a great job of conveying the baby in her coy flying through the pink clouds of magical land, Nnanell.Thanks Brighid. Best wishes to you in the art competition.​Just one week to go folks :)

I love the cool folks you meet at Supernova fandom conventions. This young artist named Rye the Art Guy was seated next to me in Artists' Alley and we had a fun weekend. Rye was kept very busy drawing commissions for the entire weekend and I was so pleased when she drew this little dragon for me.

Rye's art is high sought after, and I'm stoked she entered the art competition.​The dragons are some of my favourite characters in the Hunters of Reloria trilogy.There is only about a week left to enter, so sharpen those pencils, folks. Draw a character depicted here to enter:http://huntersofreloria.weebly.com/art-competition-2016.html
